Amsterdam-based Annelore van Herwijnen's photography can be described as "feel-good lifestyle" with a focus on sports, kids and family time.

"To get the moments I have in mind, I create natural situations. It must look real and have that good vibe and fun. It’s about the right moment. I have the pleasure to work with a great team, which adds to the atmosphere on the set and results in strong photos."

Friends and family, music, food and drinks, plants, longboards, the sun, Vans, Shazam app, sports, Buenos Aires, ShakeItPhoto app, and New York's Meat Packing District are among the things that inspire Annelore.

Clients include Joolz (strollers), Promovendum (insurance), Novotel, Samsung and Lipton. This Showcase highlights a selection of her recent campaign work.

''As a photographer, I go anywhere. To the real cowboys in the remote areas of the United States. To rockers behind the podium. To top models in the studio. To writers in the bedroom. And wherever I am, I want to create the image that reality there rises above itself."

Peter Bak is a Rotterdam-based freelance portrait, lifestyle and advertising photographer with nearly 20 years' experience. Having educated himself in photography during his late 20s, he moved to New York City where he assisted some of the best photographers including Jill Greenberg, Dana Lixenberg, Carli Hermes and Mario Testino.

Peter works comfortably across both film and digital formats. He has a natural talent for outdoor and location photography and is known for his dramatically lit environment portraits and intriguing travel images. He specialises in creating engaging portraits and corporate promotion materials and enjoys shooting reportage for travel and lifestyle magazines.

For Peter it is all about people. He prefers to work in a documentary style, enabling him to get to know a person better. In some cases he is moved more by the experience than photography itself, but to capture these two in one image is the best of both worlds. Photography to Peter is a way to access these moments, to travel, to meet. "Without these moments, they are just pictures."

"After picking up a camera some 20 years ago, I started experimenting with still life and landscape photography. In the meantime I graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague and started my own studio based near Amsterdam.

Over the years, I have focused mainly on still life and product photography.

Recently I started working on bigger sets in my studio, but I also like shooting on location. I have shot a lot of products and by doing this I have learned to look closely and find the right angle for each product. This knowledge helps me today to see what would work best for the product and the set in general."
